KTMrad 535 Posted May 3, 2012 Was another successful event, thanks all the participants and their donations, to Craig who puts this on, SDBMW for hosting it and Gary Orr for the awesome BBQ steaks, salmon and bacon-wrapped stuffed jalapenos. The ride raised over $3500 for the PKD Foundation. Was a pretty good turnout of rally participants as usual. Joliet and I helped out as usual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
